Its raining: nothing unusual considering its Autumn but this probably marks the end of the summer hiking season before we have to search around for ice axes and crampons. Many flood warnings have been given, many rivers have burst their banks, houses are flooding and this week generally looks like its gonna be a complete washout up north. Also, atleast 4 people have been killed so far due to the recent bad weather. So, be sure to make the most of any dry days we might get without risking life and limb!
